Answer:
the common ratio is either 2 or -2.
the sum of the first 7 terms is then either 765 or 255
Step-by-step explanation:
a geometric sequence or series of progression (these are the most common names for the same thing) means that every new term of the sequence is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor which is called the common ratio.
so,
a1
a2 = a1×f
a3 = a2×f = a1×f²
a4 = a3×f = a1×f³
the problem description here tells us
a3 = 4×a1
and from above we know a3 = a1×f².
so, f² = 4
and therefore the common ratio = f = 2 or -2 (we need to keep that in mind).
again, the problem description tells us
a2 + a4 = 30
a1×f + a1×f³ = 30
for f = 2
a1×2 + a1×2³ = 30
2a1 + 8a1 = 30
10a1 = 30
a1 = 3
for f = -2
a1×-2 + a1×(-2)³ = 30
-10a1 = 30
a1 = -3
the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is
sn = a1×(1 - f^(n+1))/(1-f) for f <>1
so, for f = 2
s7 = 3×(1 - 2⁸)/(1-2) = 3×-255/-1 = 3×255 = 765
for f = -2
s7 = -3×(1 - (-2)⁸)/(1 - -2) = -3×(1-256)/3 = -3×-255/3 =
= -1×-255 = 255
The Pythagorean Theorem states that a² + b² = c², c being the hypotenuse.
Substitute known values into the equation.
7² + 2² = c²
49 + 4 = c²
c² = 53
c = √53
c = 7.28010989
Answer: The hypotenuse's length is 7.3 feet.
The answer would be 25.65
Answer:
0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
Mean of 0.6 times a day
7 day week, so 
What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.
In which
So
0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
But its still not that much info what is the answers for it if there is no answer
How are you finding what does x equal
